Running into problems when trying to bundle mobile game

Hi, I’m trying to bundle a sample project as android game but it gets stuck in indeterminate “Bundling” process.

The terminal output is:

I don’t know what to do… Is Defold having some problems to find SDK?

It seems to wait indefinitely for the jarsigner command to finish. This step:

github.com

defold/defold/blob/dev/com.dynamo.cr/com.dynamo.cr.bob/src/com/dynamo/bob/bundle/AndroidBundler.java#L560-L577


private static void signFile(Project project, File signFile, ICanceled canceled) throws IOException, CompileExceptionError {
    log("Sign " + signFile);
    BundleHelper.throwIfCanceled(canceled);


    String keystore = getKeystore(project);
    String keystorePassword = getKeystorePassword(project);
    String keystoreAlias = getKeystoreAlias(project);


    Result r = exec(getJavaBinFile("jarsigner"),
        "-verbose",
        "-keystore", keystore,
        "-storepass", keystorePassword,
        signFile.getAbsolutePath(),
        keystoreAlias);
    if (r.ret != 0) {
        throw new IOException(new String(r.stdOutErr));
    }
}

Looking specifically at the commandline that gets invoked I believe there’s a problem with the -keystore path containing a space and the argument not being passed inside quotes:

-keystore /home/BurstXD/CU Mobile.jks

Could you try renaming the keystore file?

Ohhh… Thanks! I’ll!

UltraBurstXD · February 12, 2021, 12:09pm

Renamed CU Mobile to CU_Mobile and CUMobile, it’s not working. It got stuck again…

Ok, another thing I noticed before removing the keystore password from the log you shared above (be careful about sharing logs containing passwords) was that it contained non alphanumeric characters and it wasn’t in quotes either (something I will make sure to fix). Can you try creating a new keystore and use a basic password containing only alphanumeric characters?

Another thing you could try is to run the jarsigner command from a terminal just to check that it can run at all. Try running:

/home/BurstXD/Defold/packages/jdk11.0.1-p1/bin/jarsigner

And see if it gives you any usage output.

UltraBurstXD · February 12, 2021, 1:49pm

Thanks, it works now!

britzl · February 13, 2021, 8:13am

Ok, great! Was it the password?

UltraBurstXD · February 14, 2021, 11:35am

Yes.

britzl · February 14, 2021, 2:18pm

Thanks. Created issue: https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5563

britzl · February 15, 2021, 9:31pm

I’m unable to reproduce your problem in my own tests. Which OS are you using?

I was wrong here. We use the Java ProcessBuilder class to call the “jarsigner” command and it takes care this.

UltraBurstXD · February 19, 2021, 12:58pm

Sorry, for not replying soon… I’m using Ubuntu 20.10.

britzl · February 19, 2021, 1:21pm

Thanks. And did I remember correctly that the password contained a non alphanumeric character?

UltraBurstXD · February 21, 2021, 8:12am

It’s true. ‘@’, was the troublesome non alphanumeric character.
